In a season filled with injuries, the Leigh Leopards have received promising news regarding the condition of Umyla Hanley. Although the center will be sidelined for a couple of weeks due to a fresh shoulder injury, the updates suggest that this setback is far from severe.

Good News Amidst Challenges

Hanley, who recently made his long-awaited return from a previous shoulder issue, faced disappointment after sustaining another injury in just 25 minutes of play against Warrington Wolves. However, head coach Adrian Lam shared reassuring news, indicating that the injury is not long-term. According to Lam, there is no fracture involved this time, and Hanley is expected to be back within one to two weeks.

A Healthier Squad on the Horizon

Alongside Hanley's update, the Leopards are finally seeing a healthier roster. After a challenging start to the season, which resulted from numerous injuries affecting the team's performance, only one long-term absentee remains. Players like Frankie Halton and AJ Towse are nearing returns, and hopeful updates have emerged concerning other team members, suggesting that the team will soon regain its strength.

The Leopards' upcoming match against York Knights promises to be an exciting encounter, and with potential reinforcements on the way, fans can remain optimistic about the team's prospects in the ongoing Super League season.
